They've also stated that they're refunding "some" credit cards due to the bank "being awkward". If your card is affected, you will receive a mail, and the refund, and are given the option to re-order preferably paying via bank transfer.

Oh, and there's a supply problem with the LCDs, which isn't a great surprise. They've got 640, and need 4000. No definite date on the remaining 3,400.

I wish there was a little more openness about what was happening with the bank, and I wish I knew if my money was being refunded or not. If it is, I will re-order with a credit card, but I'm not paying a bank transfer for something that doesn't yet exist...

Fingers crossed something might appear by December, and that news comes more regularly from the team who have done astonishing work up until now!

Nope - that's just a general attitude. And I still think PSPUAE can reach my definition of "fullspeed" someday for many Amiga 500-titles.
I'm just impatient.

It was announced to be shipped by the end of November. But at the moment it seems like it gets delayed to 2009 because of the LCD-delivery problems. Maybe they'll ship the ~600 units they got LCDs for already this year (and since I'm the 13th German that preordered the unit from EvilDragon I might get lucky...).
I can fully understand that not everyone would pay for some non-existing device that gets delayed. I'd usually never do such a thing, either - the Pandora is... an exception...

I personally feel (from past experience), when something like that happens, the first batches end up having loads of problems. Due to them getting desperate for components and the quality goes out the window.

I agree, PSPUAE can reach Fullspeed (in most things), just need the asm intergrated. I just hope chilly gets his other projects finished, and is able to integrate it, as he knows asm inside out.

The Pandora team have said from day dot they will delay the release rather than use inferior parts. Their LCD supplier has only supplied 600 LCDs rather than the full order of 4000 so they have delayed the release until they get more of the same LCDs rather than getting cheaper/different ones.

Anyways, reason I am posting: Gn0stic has done a quick one day port of eUAE.
